Biography
Charles Duncan, MD, has been a Yale neurosurgeon since 1977. He is known for establishing the first dedicated pediatric neurosurgery program in Connecticut.
“I chose neurosurgery—and, in particular, pediatric neurosurgery—for the wonderful people needing care and the opportunity to make a difference in their lives,” Dr. Duncan says. “The people needing care, the colleagues I work with, and the opportunities to learn and teach are the wonderful parts of my job. We're all in this together,” he says.
A professor of neurosurgery and pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Duncan has published more than 100 articles, and has been the principal investigator or co-investigator in 20 funded research projects.
